Hi all,
I really need some help here with my Samsung Galaxy i747M which i recently wipe/factory data reset and wiped the cache. The phone booted fine after and i went through all the setup steps, then the problem begins. I am unable to see a background then the phone reboots and ends up in a bootloop. I am able to access download mode and recovery mode but my PC is not able to pick up the phone in download mode. I tried switching the usb cables and everything and still nothing.
My question is, is there any way to flash a new firmware via recovery mode or at least a custom rom and/or CWM through recovery mode. I am not able to pick up the phone through Odin.
Please help!!
You mean Odin does not detect the phone when it is connected in download mode? You're running the most up-to-date s3 drivers and Odin 3.07 or 3.09?
What bootloader is on your phone?

my pc does not acknowledge the phone's connection at all!! i have the stock bootloader. the phone is not rooted either
Does your phone have a custom recovery? You mean the phone is not listed in Device Manager, Odin, or both?

no the phone does not have a custom recovery, i wanted to know if there is anyway other than odin to flash in a custom recovery using the stock recovery. device manager or odin does not pick up the phone for whatever unknown reason. what can i do??
You can't flash a custom recovery through the stock recovery. The easiest way would have been to do it via Odin.
Are you running a Mac or Windows machine? What OS? Does the phone charge when it's connected to the computer?

I am running on a windows machine with windows 7. Yes the phone charges when connected to a PC but just not picking up as a device. Is there no other option?

You tried a different computer too? Are there any unknown devices in device manager when you connect the phone? You tried all of your USB 2.0 ports? If you did all of this, it's possible the USB port on the phone has malfunctioned.
You could try loading a custom recovery via fastboot.

fastboot...is this the same as adb sideload? doesnt fastboot require a connection to a pc to use command prompt? i could be wrong...i tried it on other pc's as well and swapped between usb ports..

So there are no unknown devices in device manager on any computer with any USB cables? If that's the case, maybe the phone's USB port is defective.
Yes, ADB/fastboot requires a working USB connection but the drivers are different from when you connect the phone after it has booted to its desktop.

Ok I think my samsung galaxy nexus maguro is soft bricked. I can get to the odin screen, I can get to the TWRP screen, and I can get to the bootloader screen, but for the life of me I can not get it to talk over the usb. I have downloaded the Samsung USB Drivers, Ive tried Kies, I ve tried them both separately installed, I've tried them installed toether. I've even tried running it on another computer. I've tried the Universal Nexus Linux Toolkit on Ubuntu. I've gone through 6 different cables, and although I do not have the actual cable that came with this phone, I have tried an actual samsung mobile phone data cable and I can not get the computer to recognize the device.
Does anyone have any ideas?:fingers-crossed:
I'd even be willing to hear off the wall ideas at this point. It is not useable in the state that its in.

use adb sideload or flash from recovery.
set up correctly adb & fastboot in pc. boot to recovery first, command ~ adb devices * to check your devices is connected or not.
should be no problem if u still have custom recovery installed.
are u using ubuntu or window??
or use odin here~

You can factory reset your phone and if this does not solve your problem the use wugfresh nexus root toolkit
a) If you can still get the device into fastboot mode try to flash the partitions with fastboot (grab the stock images from the google developers page and flash them partition by partition). You can also flash the recovery with fastboot.
b) There is an open source odin implementation called heimdall. But you should be extremly cautious before trying that one. You may also find original odin copies. But YMMV and those tools come with some risk.
Make sure you've got a reliable usb connection to your phone. Charge your phone if possible (or charge the battery with a working phone / external charger first).
Hello, I'm the new guy, kind of (I'm new to this forum but somewhat a technological handyman, so to speak).
I had recently obtained a Samsung Galaxy Ace II, everything was going good on the phone, hell, it's what? Two years old now? Anyway, I noticed the immense trouble I've been having trying to get several Windows PCs/laptops to detect anything from the phone, no driver updates, installations, not even from the trustworthy SAMSUNG Kies application. It is becoming a real problem as I really want to keep this phone, root it, installing several ROMs as I go along, but no, the computers won't even allow me to access the contents of my SD card through USB.
(Note: I have manually downloaded and installed SAMSUNG USB drivers and pooft, still nothing!)
I have tried quite a few methods to allow the PCs to establish a connection with the phone e.g. Dialing "*#7284#*, accessing "PhoneUtil", choosing "PDA" as the good mode, even switching to "MODEM" then back to "PDA"; Uninstalling/Reinstalling drivers; Attempting Kies.
I guess I am on the look out for a new-ish phone to replace this, which saddens me as I love being able to root, install various ROMs, Kernels etc, personally I like this phone too, more than my Spica running ICS (couldn't be too hard though, it wasn't stable whatsoever).
If anyone on this board could find a solution to this problem for me, I would be ever so grateful, I don't doubt it though, I love the work of XDA. Thank you.
Turn off the phone with no cable attached, press volume down, home and power at the same time and then volume up to put it in ODIN mode and connect it to the PC (use windows vista or newer so it auto installs the driver) It should install something like Samsung USB serial device. Tell if it works
Do I have to load it into ODIN mode whilst Odin is running on my PC?

For this test you dont need ODIN on the PC. Its only to see if the PC recognizes the phone

I just tested this and it appears not to be working, whatsoever. Is it necessary to have all SAMSUNG USB drivers installed on the PC?
Thank you for the idea, though. I just really want to root/mod my phone, ugh.

Windows should auto install the drivers. Connect the phone to the PC and see in device manager if there is something like an unknoen device or Samsung USB device

Thank you for the help, although my problem is not dealt with still. I have completed the steps that you had suggested, thoroughly and repeatedly, yet there is no hope for a permanent, or even temporary fix for my mobile.
Windows isn't displaying any correlation between my PC and phone, no driver software auto-installs and no sign of the device being located in the Device Manager, not even under an "Unknown device".
Is this a problem for most Ace II devices? Or am I missing something that is too obvious to consider so seriously?
Porobu once told me something like:
1. Uninstall kies and sammy usb drivers
2. Install kies again, it should promt to install USB drivers.
3. Plug in phone to pc in DL mode.
I'm not sure what you mean in your 1st post so im assuming you have yet to try this. Works for me
When do I plug the USB into the phone and boot my phone into download mode? As soon as the drivers are installed via Kies?

After kies installation complete(dont have to open), boot phone to download mode, connect to cable and plug to pc
It sounds like a broken microusb port but try something first.
Download ubuntu or any other live cd linux distro
Boot it on your pc. You dont need to install anything.
Open a terminal
*Plug the phone while it is turned on to the PC
Write in the terminal 'lsusb' without the quotes and press enter
Something like Samsung android device or MTP device should appear.
If it doesnt appear power off the phone and go to odin mode and repeat from the * the steps
Hi All,
I recently purchased two Galaxy Tab S tablets (10.5, SM-T800) which I have been trying to root for the past couple of days but have been getting nowhere.
The issue stems from the inability of my computers being able to detect the tablets in Download Mode.
I have tried the following:
I have tried installing different versions of Odin
I have download kies.
I have tried re-installing the Samsung usb drivers on numerous ocations in two different computers.
I have tried different usb cables to include the cable that came with the tablet.
If Tablet is powered on however, the computer will detected it and thus so will Odin. This is only happens in Download Mode.
If googled this issue and it seems to be a none issue however I have yet to find a fix to this. I was hoping I would have better luck in this forum.
Have you tryed using a different usb port? How about using a different pc? Does it even connect when you tab s is on? My pc can detect my tab s fine but had some issues with windows 8.1 and odin crashing. My guess would be trying on a pc that can detect other devices in download mode just fine. Did you also enable usb debugging?
I'm stumped given what you have tried. I'm assuming you are using CF-autoroot. On Windows 7, Odin wouldn't see download mode until I installed the Samsung drivers downloaded from Samsung. Then everything went fine (after which I rolled Windows back to the previous restore point because the Sammy drivers messed up my Nexus 5 connection. Also, if it matters, I used Odin 3.0.9 but with Chainfire's Odin.ini file.
Are you waiting to plug the tablet in until after you have entered download mode? I don't know why, but the instructions for CF-autoroot were very explicit about that.

Dont mean to patronize...but you have enabled usb debugging in developer options and installed the adb driver right? Coz odin wont see anything until you do this.

You dont need adb as it worked fine without adb for me. Usb debugging does the trick. But installing adb could help
Yes I already tried different USB ports. Different USB cables. Different computers. USB Debugging is enabled.
Again Odin does detect the tablet as long as the tablet is booted up to Android. Odin detects is, Windows Detects it, Kies Detects it.
As soon as I reboot the tablet into Download Mode and plug it back into the computer, is as if nothing is plugged in. No driver gets installed. No new hardware is detected and thus Odin wont detect it.
FIXED!!!!!
Ok so what essential was happening is I was turning off the tablet. Putting it into download mode using VolDown+Home+Power. However that seemed to be actually taking me to recovery and now download mode.
I ended up booting back into android with usb debugging mode enabled and running the following adb command
adb reboot download
This rebooted the tablet into download mode which looks totally different than the recovery, it then installed the drivers and Odin was able to finally detect it!
Thank you all for your assistance!

Hi friends.
First of all, i have read similar threads but nothing changed.
i have Galaxy S4 mini I9190
4.2.2. UBNA1 Turkey Rom and root.
I think i deleted a system file including usb setting.
Now i can't connect pc.
I tried to factory reset, nothing changed, even so, root has gone.
Now:
* i can't flash new rom
* i can't connect to odin
* i can't do wipe data cache
* i can't get root
i changed usb socket (maybe socket is broken) but nothing changed.
i thing that problem is about software.

First re-install samsung usb drivers on ur pc. Then go to dowload mode and flash stock rom. Editing system file should not affect odin connectivity.

Even I install USB driver, not connected to PC in download mode.
I have to find a way install from SD card.
No connection in download mode, normal mode, recovery mode.
Can I root from SD card?

What recovery do u have? If it is custom like cwm or twrp then you can flash a rom.
But i don't think the system file is responsible for download mode recongition. Try another usb cable and use odin as administrator.
PS :: Can you post a screenshot of the devices section from control panel on your pc??

I am using original stock rom, Not cwm or custom.
I tried another cable and PC.
When connect to PC, PC says "undefined hardware".
Neither connect in download mode, nor normal mode.
When I arrived home, I send screenshot.
If it says undefined hardware then there is something wrong with drivers.
Also it is possible that micro usb port on your device is malfunctioning.
Download and install latest samsung kies. It has latest usb drivers.

I tried that, another PC, another cable, reinstall driver bla bla bla.
There is no way to connect to PC.
We have to install from SD card.
What do u want to install from sd card??
Anyway from the looks of it the microusb port on you device seems to be the culprit.
Better go to samsung service.
I flashed a custom rom and now my PC does not recognize my phone. I can't transfer files or fastboot to the phone from the PC.
I wanted to go back to stock, but when I went to flash-all, it stalls at waiting for device.
Not sure what happened, any help solving this would be appreciated.
It's not the drivers in the PC, it's something that happened within the phone.

You should also try a different A-C cable. Do you still have a custom recovery or stock? If so you can use adb to push/pull files to the phone and try "update via adb". Have you done a full factory reset?
It's not the cable, I've a few different ones. I can't use adb, because the PC doesn't recognize that Mr phone is connected.

Turns out that restating the PC did the trick.
Everything works now. Thanks for the help.
